7 Street SW station is a CTrain light rail station in downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is used only by westbound trains, with the nearest stations serving east bound trains being 6 Street SW station and 8 Street SW station, both of which only serve eastbound trains. The station platform is located on the north side of 7 Avenue South, within the free fare zone of the CTrain and serves both routes 201 and 202.
The original 7 Street W station was located between 7 Street & 8 Street SW (adjacent to the Sandman Hotel) and opened on May 25, 1981, as part of Calgary's original LRT line from 8 Street W to Anderson. On February 27, 2009, the new 7 Street W station opened one block East (between 6 Street & 7 Street SW) and the old platform was immediately closed and demolished shortly afterwards.
Like all refurbished 7 Avenue platforms, the entire sidewalk slopes up to the station at both ends and the platform can handle 4-car trains.
The station registered an average of 12,400 weekday boardings in 2005.[1]
In 2008, according to the Calgary Transit Website, the daily weekday ridership remains at an unchanged rate of 12,400 boardings.[2]
